To wrap up our look at print sci-fi I am going to compare and contrast two books released in 2020 that both have much in common with Mirrorshades, but in very different ways:, Gibson’s (“””the father of cyberpunk”””) Agency and Miciah Johnson’s debut novel “The Space Between Worlds”. I am going to be a little mean to Gibson, but hopefully by the time you’ve read both summaries you’ll understand why. This section has also put me in the unfortunate position of trying to summarize these books so you can understand my point, since they are both recent releases and don’t have adequately in depth summaries online. I will hope you will bear with me for this portion but don't blame you for skipping ahead.
